Actually, it will scan two trees, two *local* ones, on top of some extra I/O FYI, webrsync does : 1) download a 16M snapshot 2) unpack its 100,000+ files latest GWN sees it as a record, let's aim for 250,000 files 3) run rsync between temp dir and /usr/portage 4) rm 100,000 temp files 5) emerge metadata emerge-webrsync is not meant to decrease I/O, in fact, it increases local I/O. It is meant for people who can't use rsync because it's blocked (or because there is no connection at all).
